"MacNab opened the gates of
Dundurn, for the last of the
colorful eccentrics who had car-
ved out Upper Canada from the
bush. 'Tiger' Dunlop had died
in Montreal longing for his
Goderich home, Gairbraid, and
his widowed sister-in-law, who
• had spent the greater part of
her life in catering to his erratic
wishes, set out obediently to
convey him there. It was a long
way from Montreal to .Goderich
in 1848 and the—poor lady
arrived at Hamilton in • wan
despair. fir Allan met the°•boat,
brought the sad little part to
Dund'urn, and offered Mrs.
Dunlop his ';private burial
ground, Inchbuie, as resting
place for his. old friend until
such time as his last wish could
be effected."

stated: •"That cairn contains,

it . was built, six sisters and a
`brother and three grand-
children."
• "When I was a child," said
Mrs. Mary Morris, of Goderich,
"there was a good lot of stones
